Platja de l’Estany or Port de l’Estany Gras
Platja de l'Estany or Port de l'Estany Gras beach in L’Ametlla de Mar (northern Terres de l'Ebre) was a natural harbour for the local fishing boats until around 1920, when the present-day port was built. Some 200 m long and 30 m wide, L'Estany Beach has fine golden sand combined with gravel and the waters have a moderate swell, depending on the wind direction.
L'Estany Beach offers several services, including car parking, showers, toilets, a lifeguard service, a boardwalk for people with reduced mobility, signage, a beach bar, and bars and restaurants on the shore. One of its most precious attributes and the reason it stands out is the high ecological value of the area, with a rich native vegetation in which pine woods, kermes oak and palmetto stand out. It also has a very varied marine fauna that it is a great attraction for diving.
